Economic Stimulus Package

The Indonesian government has officially launched an economic stimulus package in the form of transportation discounts during the Christmas 2025 and New Year 2026 holiday period (Nataru 2025/2026). The primary objective of this initiative is to enhance mobility and stimulate economic activity by making transportation more affordable for the public.
